AFMedic09 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I filed on Jan 24th 2011. Also, my status says "Gathering Evidence" not "Complete" - what does that mean? This is what it says... The current benefit paid is as follows: Gross Benefit Amount $727.00 Net Amount Paid $727.00 Effective Date December 1, 2011 Combined Evaluation 40 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsmcSGTVet Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 What was your service connected percentage before Jan 24, 2011? Do you have a Rep? Dav, VFW, American legion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMedic09 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) This is my initial claim. (First rating) Peggy had no insight for me....I put this claim together on my own. I had 14 contentions including migraines, PTSD/Depression, and bladder sling for prolapsed bladder, etc. I don't know if this means some of my claims are deffered? Denied? I guess I have to wait for snail mail to figure it out? Edited April 30, 2012 by AFMedic09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsmcSGTVet Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ya ebenefits is not always up to date and peggy usually never has the right information. Since your letter generator says you were awarded 40% it seems to me a little win. You will have to wait till they send you there reasoning for such decision then you may need to file a NOD if you don't agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFMedic09 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 I have read where people see "Appeal Possible" on their AB8. I have no such verbage. Also, "Peggy" told me she couldn't tell me what my letter said, but that it looks like there are still issues they are working out, and that my letter has not been finalized at this point. I am confused. I think it would be a good thing if there are still contentions they are considering for rating, but I don't know if that is the case. And why is there no verbage stating that the rating is appealable? (if that is a word) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
